Leaves pictured in groups of three with toothed edges.

You can find this species along Olympic View drive. When I last saw it, the thorns had been weed whacked away. No berries are growing yet.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of fungus this is. It had the texture of a mushroom when touched and was growing in a great bunch.

Shrub with opposite leaves which are long and pointy. The branches of this species are red. I think by next week I should be seeing some of the white flowers in bloom.

This species is no longer in bloom, but back in May the red flowers on this shrub were very apparent. Now it can be found in the areas throughout the park with sun shining through the upper canopy.

Toothed leaves. This species looks like it is just about to bloom out on Olympic drive where is has access to more sunshine. When bloomed, there will be bunches of white flowers.

This species can be found right in the parking area off of Olympic Park Drive. Evergreen spiny leaves.

This species can be found right off the trail, identifiable by the opposite small round lobes. and white berries.

Since the forest was so dense it was hard to see this species, but it was definitely identifiable by its call.

I was able to identify this species by the squeaky sound of its call. There is also a lot of evidence of this species in the holes on trees throughout the park.

Lots of this tree species throughout the park. Identifiable by droopy branches and reddish bark.

I hear this species often while walking the trails. It is easily identifiable by the "cheerily, cheer up" call.

These flowers were blooming back when I took this photo in April.

I heard this species' call from the north trail and got some help identifying the call from a video that I recorded.

Tons of douglas firs in this park! You can see one of the many in the background of the photo I provided.

Flat leaves with multiple orange/yellow buds getting ready to bloom.

She's got curves!

Berries were just beginning when I took this picture! Easily identifiable by the butterfly wing shapes.

Berries were beginning to grow when I took this picture!

I was finally able to identify this species as the white flowers began blooming. Big heart shaped leaves, no berries yet.

The biggest identifying feature of this species was the call. Although it is hard to see, the white eyebrow helped me to identify this species as a Bewick's Wren.

Easily identifiable throughout the park by the broad maple leaves. Signage on the south walking trail also identifies this tall tree.
